Pros

-Team culture is quite strong -Fun place to work - One of very few companies offering a slight travel benefit to the office

Cons

- If you are from a diverse background and face a few difficulties the People & Culture team will not be helpful at all, and might even make things difficult for you at times - Compensation can be nearly 10k lower than the market standard - Lot of office politics is involved when it comes to career progression - The C-suite and senior level management can be completely detached from reality and their own product at times
